SYMPHONY TO PLAY ON.

August 7, 1989

- DENVER — SYMPHONY TO PLAY ON. The financially plagued Denver Symphony Orchestra is making plans to play this season after all. A survival plan was approved Friday that includes shortening the season by half and cutting musicians' salaries. The final two months of last season were canceled because of lack of money. Terms of the plan approved by the orchestra's board include negotiating pay cuts and concessions from its 81 musicians, cutbacks in staff and operating costs, and winning writeoffs of $3.2 million of the symphony's $4 million debt.
